Reddit mentions: The best powersports body parts

I have a great solution!

I own an 06 fz6, so I have the same goofy windshield as you. first of all, I highly suggest buying the dark smoke puig racing windscreen. It greatly improves the ride quality, and the dark smoke lets you see through it if you end up tucking that hard, but still looks nice like a full black screen.

First, I bought these mirrors that youtuber The Inja suggested for his 07 fz6. The only problem is that the mirror mounts on that year are vertical, whereas 06 and before have the slanted mirror mounts you see in the pic. What this means is that even with the mirrors best adjusted, they still angle too far out to be even close to seeing behind you. And that sucks, because most mirrors you'll find aren't able to adjust enough!

So what I did to fix the issue was go over to JW Winco. They machine all sorts of mechanical odds and ends... So I ordered two part#'s 6NLZ0 and 6NXBGI. I then went down to the hardware store and bought some threaded studs. I believe it was an M4 size. It is important that they are a fully threaded stud, and not a stud with a spacer in the middle. In the threaded stud pic, the middle is the kind you want, not the outer ones. Along with the studs, I also bought some washers to put against the mirror/clevis contact points. You'll also need an M6 bolt/nut combo to tighten the clevis fork assembly together. I put a washer on either side of the clevis/bolt assembly.

I highly suggest you take a mirror into the hardware store and assemble what I've described before you purchase the parts, it'll save a lot of time.

The end result is fantastic! The mirrors are great. Very solid, and tinted blue to save your eyes at night, as well as help your brain separate the mirror from the world around you, so you don't get distracted by your mirrors. The mirror ball pivot is SOLID, and will not fold in on you at top speed. Vibration isn't bad either. They look pretty mean on the bike, and I think they fit well. If you want, I can take a picture or two of it later to help you see what it'll look like and how it all goes together. Hope this helps!

>Running errands: Right now, I take my bike to the grocery store 60% of the time. But an average bike right off the sales floor isn’t equipped for hauling even a small amount of groceries, and if you don’t want to ride back home with your knees banging the shopping bags hanging from your handlebars, you’ll need to add some accessories to your bike before biking your groceries home isn’t a gigantic pain in the ass.

> Rack: Pretty simple. Putting a rack on your bike massively extends its utility. You can hang a pannier (more on them later) from the rack instead of using a backpack, keeping your back sweat-free. With the addidion of a bungee cord or more permanent strap system, you can hold things on top of it. If your bike has disc brakes, you may need a wider rack to accommodate the extra wide axle. Also, some bikes with unusual geometry may require extra-long bars for installing the rack. This and the folding basket below are probably the trickiest accessories to install, and where you might be better off having them professionally installed.

> Folding basket: This was a major piece of the puzzle for me. I didn’t want my bike permanently widened out with a pair of baskets off the rack. But I also wanted to be prepared to stop and do some shopping on my way home without worrying about how I would carry everything. The folding rack was the perfect solution. When I need it, it unfolds in a couple seconds and I can put stuff in it. When I don’t need it, or space is tight, it folds up quickly and it’s more or less unnoticeable off the side of my bike. It means I can make unexpected stops while on my bike to pick up a few things without having to double back in my car later. I have this Wald one, and it’s very nice. It was quite a pain to install though. Be prepared for a bit of frustration if you go the DIY route. This was the one part of these accessory installs that I used a power tool.

> Pannier: I mentioned this one a bit under weather. The one I have and love is this Banjo Brothers waterproof pannier and backpack. It nearly effortlessly turns from one to the other and since it’s waterproof I can take it every time. The first time I biked to a shopping mall, locked my bike up, and turned my pannier to a backpack and went shopping, I felt like a goddamn superhero. This flexibility takes a lot of anxiety out of running errands on my bike.

> Water bottle cages: Pretty self-explanatory. Carry water with you when you bike. I have 2 mounted, one on the down tube at a diagonal, and one on the seat tube vertical. I can carry my coffee mug in there without spilling too much. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice your second cup of coffee just because you want to bike in.
>
> Compact shopping bags: Not really sure what to call these, other than the brand name I know, Chico Bags. They fold up into a small size and unfold quickly. You can get sling ones to go over your shoulder, or the smaller ones easily go into the folding basket. Just a good thing to with you for unexpected stops.

> Kickstand: A lot of people are surprised when bikes don’t automatically come with kickstands. And for a lot of people, a kickstand doesn’t make sense for the kind of riding they do. I am using my bike to commute, and am more interested in convenience than weight. I got a two-legged kickstand for added stability. Keep in mind, not every single bike will accept every kickstand. If you get one with a top plate like this standard one that every bike store carries, it will work for 90% of the bikes you would expect to take a kickstand. If you bought a $5,000 tri bike with areo bars and bladed spokes for reduced wind drag, you’re not going to get a kickstand on there, sorry. Also, kickstands come in a set length and may need to be cut down with a hacksaw to fit your bike. You should be able to turn the handlebars all the way from left to right without the bike falling over. If you don’t feel comfortable measuring and cutting a kickstand, consider taking it to a bike shop.

>Clothing/comfort: A pair of cushioned bike shorts makes a ride a lot more enjoyable. But they’re also a lot less comfortable for anything else you’re doing. Unless you’re going to bring a change of clothes with you, bike shorts aren’t a practical piece of attire once you step off your bike. It’s not necessary to get spandexed up to ride the bike, but casual clothing does present some barriers to biking. Here’s a couple common issues and how I address them.

> Comfortable saddle: We’re not talking about a carbon fiber road bike with skinny tires and aero bars here, we’re talking about a commuter bike. Hopefully you figured that out while installing the fenders, rack and folding basket. Saddles come in all shapes, sizes, and materials. And second only to making sure you have the right sized bike, this is the single most important element for your comfort. Find a saddle that makes sense for the type of riding you do, and if that means it’s a gel-cushioned saddle, then go for it. Find one that doesn’t rely on the cushioned posterior of bike shorts to let you ride comfortably.

> Pedals/Shoes: This is a big one. If I had to stop and consider what kind of shoes I’m wearing when deciding to ride or drive, it would cut down my biking drastically. Here’s a secret: most bikes are sold with the cheapest pedals available. Even fancy bike shop bikes are shipped with cheapo pedals. Some, like $5,000 road bikes, aren’t shipped with any pedals at all, because they know that pedals are one of the first things serious riders replace. That means if you haven’t installed new pedals, your bike is probably equipped with cheap pedals that aren’t designed for the kind of riding you do or the shoes you will wear. Sometimes, just upgrading to a pair or metal pedals with more grip might do the trick. There are also systems with toe cages that will let you strap your feet in. I find these to be more of a pain than they’re worth. If you’re not going to strap your feet in for every ride, they’re a hassle as the added weight makes the cages naturally hang upside down. There’s also clipless systems, but those involve special shoes and cleat systems which are more complicated than the type of riding we’re discussing here. If you’ve ever seen someone in biker gear in the store or coffee shop and they click with every step like they’re wearing horseshoes, those are clipless shoes.

>* Outerwear: Naturally the weather will be a bigger impact on your day if you’re biking rather than driving. Nice days are nicer, bad weather days are worse, and even the moderate days can be a bit challenging when you’re kitting up for some bike-based errands. If it’s one of those days where you can’t decide on short or long sleeves, biking can make these decisions even more difficult. Chilly days get chillier once you start pedaling at 10-15 miles per hour, but bundle up too much and you can overheat. The real problem here is the wind of your own passage. A fluffy sweatshirt can keep you warm when you’re walking along, but wind can blow right through it. I recommend a light windbreaker like this one I found in REI’s Outlet. It will keep the wind off, but is light enough to keep you from overheating on those days where the sun is playing peekaboo. An added benefit of paying a bit more for bike specific gear is they’re often designed with high-visibility stripes for extra safety. It’s far from fashionable, but you can get a hi-vis vest pretty cheap. They’re lightweight to not really impact your ride and can be easily stowed if you want to stop catching everyone’s eye once you step off your bike.

An initial investment will be required. The Fender Squier is the absolute standard in beginner basses. $150 new, much cheaper used. So if you check ebay/craigslist, you may find some decent deals. Indeed it may be defected, but that's the risk you run when buying used gear. Maybe you can work out some deal with the seller. I'd buy a used amplifier as well. The Fender Rumble still serves me to this day as a practice amp. Either way, I would just look for cheap used equipment. Beginner gear isn't supposed to be amazing. Just functional. Whatever fits your budget.

I'm a gamer myself as well. A thing that keeps one playing games is a feeling of progression - you're improving in mechanical skills, equipment, talents, etc whenever you play the game. Things that were tough aint shit after a while. If you put the time in for Bass, you will have similar experiences. Songs that used to make you sweat become childsplay. You have no idea how you used to struggle on that. You will see tangible improvements.

If you want to use your PC, a possible solution is getting an Audio Interface. Rocksmith comes with a $40 cable that can be used as an Audio Interface iirc. I'd still recommend using Guitar Pro and going to https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/ for all your bass tab needs. I tried using Rocksmith last year and didn't like it. However, maybe I would have enjoyed it more as a new beginner, since many people in this thread recommend it. Too bad it didn't exist when I started! And again, I highly recommend you play with your friend. When you play with somebody better than you, it accelerates you much quicker. You're forced to get on their level.

The buzzing on the handlebars landed me comfortably in carpal tunnel territory off the batt, with most of my right hand going numb. Yay for the 2018's hard mounted handle bars! My buddies already had these so I stopped at a random bike shop and grabbed one (was $24.95usd) and it was the best thing ever. Unlike those "cramp busters" that let you release your grip because a flap rests against your palm, these allow you to take your hand completely off the bars while the throttle stays where you set it. I find them at every random bike and atv accessories store. Made all the difference, didn't get in my way at all during twisties, was easy to effortlessly set/release without effort while riding.

I just ran premium, as that's what the manual asks for. US gas is stupidly cheap to start with, so it was substantially cheaper than regular fuel back home, and the MT07's so good on gas anyways. Cost me on average around $7usd/250km, but that was mostly in twistier roads at a good clip; if we did the speed limit I could have extended that range considerably. For how I ride it turned out 250km range worked very well as a guideline.

My shoulders where fine, as you can sit right upright on the MT07 if you wish so there's no strain on them at all.

My ass, on the other hand, was in screaming pain. The seat was simply inadequate for that kind of ride. I find it's good for up to 2 hours at a time. I'd do another ride with this seat if I had to, but I'm hoping to grab... Something, I dunno what yet, to make it better. A seat cover or something.

I brought a toolkit consisting of a Leatherman, a couple crescent wrenches, a set of Allen Keys, a multimeter, some zip ties and some metal wire, a tire pressure gauge with a length of duct tape wrapped around it, and spare universal control cables. I'd say for most people a multimeter is less important, but mine came in handy diagnosing and fixing (bypassing, rather) a friend's gimpy clutch/neutral switch.

Also packed: socks and underwear per day, a pair of spare t-shirts and a pair of pants packed into ziplock freezer bags with the air squeezed out (way more compact than just rolling clothes, AND guaranteed to stay dry), a sweater and an undershirt (layering yo! Adjust to the temperatures), a couple microfiber rags and lens cleaner for my face shield, some Tylenol, a small first aid kit (thankfully unneeded), toothpaste/toothbrush/floss/antiperspirant.

The tail bag is a Nelson Rigg CL 1060S which was phenomenal and looked really nice on the bike, and a cheap cargo net strapped over top for carrying loose stuff (removed layers of clothes, bottles of water, bag of Cheetos, etc) that I wanted fast access to.

Also had a RAM mount off the left mirror stem with a wired in charger so my phone stayed at 100% while rocking Google Maps (downloaded maps, so worked offline) and music to my Sena headset. That charger would fast-charge my phone if the bike was running, or just slow charge otherwise. Having GPS going all the time really relieved some anxiety as I could stop and take photos without worrying about losing the group.

Super deep and loud sound - videos online don't do it justice, its unbelievably loud when the baffles are out. Had to have the cat cut out of it. Be aware they have a cat in the V section before the end of the pipe.

I removed the passenger pegs, needed a bracket to hold the brake fluid reservoir - also cleaned up the pegs

Havent done the brakes yet - going to replace the lines etc with steel braid.

Also want to do a sprocket / chain swap for acceleration

I used a quadlock phone mount for a little bit - but took it off because I was playing with my phone too much.

I thought about making something but in the end cheap product with amazon prime shipping won out. Sure a beer can will work but this looks a little better when you pull it out of a bag(or under your seat if you have storage space).

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CPGQ1GO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I ordered a few and gave them to friends that said they liked mine.

I got some Rhinomoto mounts and a set of $17 mirrors from Amazon. I like the mirrors, because if they break, they're cheap to replace.

The fender is this from aliexpress, but I've added some lights and mounted my license plate on it with an adapter plate that I made with my neighbor's help. I also added lights for the license plate, and brake/turn.

Also, it does quite a good job of keeping the passenger seat and your back clean. I was having issues with a dirty back with my fender eliminator.

http://imgur.com/a/RXHVw

It's got a pair of these lights. You mostly just need a license plate light, which would be considerably easier to wire than what I did. There are five wire cores leading to that plate mount. It was a bit overkill.

I should get a video of it in action, though. The brake flasher is cool, and the turn signals are nice too.

It's all about that safety-bling.

After trying different mirrors I can definitely recommend these. You might end up paying the same amount for a more flimsy bicycle mirror that doesn't hold its position and has vibration issues or has a really small surface area. This particular model has a slight convex reflection, an aero profile, and a light weight compared to a rectangular EMGO type which is heavier, flat reflecting and not at all aero. Torqued down into a suitable handlebar bracket over some electrical tape and it's super solid. I suppose you could mount these inverted (hanging down under a handlebar) assuming clearance is acceptable. I tested odd things like mounting them onto the ends of bar ends but they were simply too far out (in a bad way). The mirror does rotate all the way around at the adjustment stem to accommodate.

Another angle of my ride. Kind of like a walking stick insect or something. I am super safe in traffic and never have a blind spot if the road ends up curving.

Thanks!


Here's the Amazon link for the mirrors. Had em for a while now and they've been pretty great.

>I am much like you where without having an ebike, I wouldn't be riding a bike at all. Great intro, I enjoyed reading your post :)

​

Thanks! Do you have any pictures of your rack/basket? I've got some bags and a milk crate I was looking to add once the rack for this bike comes back in stock.

​

The seat is definitely a nice upgrade! (link in another comment above) and the mirrors I got are these: https://www.amazon.com/MICTUNING-Universal-Hawk-eye-Motorcycle-Convex/dp/B06Y2RH6WG/ref=sr_1_3?crid=F0TXYRTSL7HF&keywords=motorcycle+mirrors&qid=1562001013&s=gateway&sprefix=1ft+usb%2Caps%2C149&sr=8-3


Maybe a bit overkill for this, but I wasn't happy with the dinky ones typically used for bicycles. Bolts on just the same though, large field of view and good style

If you're looking for bar end mirrors I highly reccomend the napoleons bar end mirror. They look beautiful on my SV and they're dense meaning they act like bar weights and they don't vibrate like cheap ones do. If I'm high in the revs (upper75%) yes it wil lvibrate but at that point any mirror will. But these are dense so they take out bandlebar vibration and they work well. They give a good FOV behind you and they can fold quickly for marking or dare I say it, splitting. But I definitely reccomend these as the best bar end mirrors out there. Worth every penny. I had a low speed <50mph crash earlier this January and the glass mirror shattered but everything else about the mirror held up, it didn't bend, it scratched a bit but it moved the same way it did before which is a testament to its construction and material quality. I had another mirror in order before the ambulance showed up. 10/10

NAPOLEON AP Universal Bar End Mirror Black (AP-104) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GTWPDA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_EV0Lzb2PY9EQH

I just went to my orders on Amazon, apparently the ones I bought aren't for sale anymore but search for these because I will never buy a different mirror.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079KBDC9Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UJ3RDbSDWBE33

That’s the pair I have. The first pair i ordered were to low and got in the way. These are much much better. And they are holding up good. And congrats on the Z! It’s a awesome bike!

That's a good deal. There's also this alternative for less money but it's just the bass itself. But with a bass amp like the Fender Rumble 15 it still adds up to $279. But with the deal you found on the Guitar Center site, I'd say go with the one you linked. It's the same price as what I just linked but yours has a lot of extra stuff. I say go for it! Maybe someone will post something better but until then I like the direction you're heading.

Don't get that ugly thing. Get a slipstreamer spitfire. They're not expensive and they look great on Hondas.

Slipstreamer S-06C Motorcycle Windshield, Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GTUM9O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_uiY5xb2M48N8Q

I've used mine on both my XL and XR and love it.

The mirrors were a Christmas gift from my wife, since I've been bitching for a while about the stock mirrors. They were very simple to put on and have been holding like a dream on the highway. So far, I love them! Highly recommended for anyone who is fed up with the stock mirror placement!

I installed these CRG Bar End Mirrors on my 2012 Kawasaki Z1000. Expensive, yes, but the visibility is superb. I highly recommend them. Looks kind of like this

Hey, bought the mirrors from amazon. there are cheaper options but the quality on the cheaper ones are shit.

To attatch the mirrors it is really helpful to have the right adapter, i bought the ones listed below, and they work great :)

Link adapter : https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bar-End-Adapters-Yamaha-FZ-models-Driven-DBEW-ADP-FZ/371944789007?epid=223528338&hash=item5699a3140f:g:2YcAAOSwgStbGhLV

They're actually just some cheapo $20 mirrors from Amazon. They feel pretty solid and they're fairly adjustable though. I'm pretty happy with them!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07FCCJR87?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I am a big fan of these mirrors, only $20. I have not had any issues with rattling or movement while riding. They also look pretty sweet and give a pretty decent view behind you.

Just a heads up, careful where you leave your bike. That ground looks pretty soft. Especially since its wet, theres a chance the stand could sink and bike will fall over. Same goes for asphalt on a hot summer day.

Something like this may save you from having to pick up your bike.

Yea I agree with this. You could make it work but the reality is that its just not fun for long stretches on the interstate. By adding a windshield and replacing the rear sprocket on my Drz with a 39 tooth I was able to cruise comfortably a little bit faster. But eventually the commute just turned into a chore and I found myself not riding with my full attention, which led to a few sketchy situations with other commuters. Now i'm commuting in the car until I get a new bike, and keeping the drz for what it does best.

I would say something in the 15 watt range would be plenty for bedroom practice.

I am fond of my Fender Rumble amp (http://www.amazon.com/Fender-Rumble-Bass-Combo-Amplifier/dp/B00HWINK1E $79). I use this one,s big brother in my band.

I also have a friend who has an Ampeg like this one (http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BA108V2 $99) if you want to get a bit louder and dirtier. Welcome to the club!

my used bike came with napoleon mirrors (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GTWPDA/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687622&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B004WPQZTE&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1MG9R0T99H3RHBMZZGSK) that look to be made for the sv. great vision and adaptability for super low cost.

somewhat related question (but i doubt it's enough to warrant a new thread): has anyone mounted bar-end turn signals and mirrors together and know of a good combination?

Fender delete is from Vagabond Motorsports. They have a YouTube video that makes installation a breeze.

Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0VTHCF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_l6B4BbZR0N13E

I’m loving the Zoom. I paired mine with the chimera intake and the bike pulls much harder in 2nd/3rd gear. Great sound and solid dB level for other drivers to hear you coming.

Currently a pair of super cheap convex bar end mirrors.

I picked up the cheap ones to see if I would like the location of the mirrors, I liked it and kept it.
For being 15$ they've lasted quite a while and work great. Almost a year now with zero issue.

This is where I got them from. Aliexpress wasn't my first choice but I took a chance and it worked! Also here are the levers, mirrors, and grips I installed too. These are fit for the Z900 only, so they probably won't fit a different bike, but I am sure they make something for it.

Yeah, it's a Slipstreamer. Specifically, this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000GTUM9O/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?ref_=pe_385040_121528360_TE_dp_1

Installs very easily, stays put, comes off easily, and looks like it was made for the bike. I would def recommend. I probably prefer the looks of a bike without a screen, but it makes a big difference in comfort when riding at higher speeds.

Sweet, thanks! Those look a lot like the westins I've been looking at but I like the pointed ends of these.

Here is a list of upgrades to the bike, and some of the gear I brought with me.

i tried something like those and hated them personally. I generally stick to the napoleans:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GTWPDA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

not available from amazon at the moment but can be found else where. i have them on two bikes right now and they are fantastic, and fold in a bunch of locations for storage or preference, and they soak up vibrations really well

This one


Easy to install, works well, looks good, isn't too expensive.

Bar end mirrors are sweet. I've had success with these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005FMTX4M/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_MMZ3tb0E7E8D0

Thanks! I got the Vagabond: https://www.amazon.com/Vagabond-Motorsports-VM-HG710-Fender-Eliminator/dp/B01M0VTHCF

I like it because it was very easy to install, required no permanent modifications, and used the stock turn signals and license plate light.

Edit: Here's a before/after pic: https://i.imgur.com/JJFddUj.jpg

As you might see in my other post, I recently picked up a Nighthawk as my new daily. She runs great but my commute is 45 miles of highway each way every day, and with recent wind storms in my area it has been brutal. So I think I'm going to put a small windshield on and could use some recommendations.

I've poked around online and it looks like there wasn't an option for any kind of factory windshields or fairings that I can find, so I was thinking of something like this. Just big enough to provide a small amount of cushion against the gusts. Are there better options/brands/deals?

http://amzn.com/B005FMTX4M

Good ole Amazon, and I haven't ridden with them much but so far much better view behind me.

It's a huge difference! This is the one I bought. Super affordable. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000GTUM9O/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have the Westin HDX steps. I like the look and I’m not an extreme off roader or anything and they have held up well. Easy install with two people or one and a jack. I personally wouldn’t have any, but my wife couldn’t reach to put the car seat in the back seat very well.

You'll also need some M8x1.25 bolts to secure the headlight as well as some steel and rubber washers to keep everything secure.

I got these for cheap on my Speed Triple, just used the original hardware from the bar end caps. Going on 6k miles and they're holding up great.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P1S0Q6O/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_1etKxb5N25S6K

I got there mirrors on Amazon

They're definitely not super high quality but they look good and dont vibrate bad.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079KBDC9Q?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share heres the link. I have them as well. Not sure if I'd recommend though unless you get other adaptors. They look nice though.

This one

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005FMTX4M/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_Z0J1wbA0EYSS0

Pretty generic!

Edit: I took out all of the little adapter things it comes with and just removed the screw from the end of the handle bars and put it there. I can clarify this more if you'd like.

FWIW here's an amazon version very similar that has pretty shitty reviews - https://www.amazon.com/Huicocy-Pair-Universal-Adjustable-Mirror/dp/B01CVBUZ8M/ref=sr_1_23?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1467052887&sr=1-23&keywords=motorcycle+mirrors - it looks like it uses plastic bolts instead of metal though.

Pretty sure they are these! They look great but they are a considerable amount smaller than the stock so it takes some getting used to

Arrows are a waste of money honestly. Imitation ones from Amazon work well and fit. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B079KBDC9Q?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_pd_title

Was able to use even with bar end slider because they give a long bolts I just had to trim.

Yeah, it wasn't too bad.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CHCPT32/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I like the mirrors alot, I've bought them twice now.

I've heard good things about the Spitfire. I'll probably pick it up. Handlebar mounted, which I like.

Looks good. Why don't you give these mirrors a try? Their lines will go well with that headlight. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CHCPT32/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1419728286&sr=8-1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FCCJR87/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got these and assembly is super strong, it's not moving anywhere. and it's only 16$

I had to replace CRG ARROW because my idiot boss broke them on purpose. Ripped it off with his hand.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079KBDC9Q/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_SkkjDbBZ10E36

These are decent but require a little modification, they beat paying 100 dollars a mirror from CRG. The bearing is a little loose , I just taped it up to give it a little more resistance and works perfectly now.

Hey Buddy - I saw this fender delete listed in a post a while back and everyone seemed to love it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0VTHCF/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A1W5TMCJ579Y88&psc=1

I picked up these for my 1981 suzuki gs1000gl build I did this summer knowing they were likely really cheap quality. I have been pleasantly surprised by their performance so far...probably just over 1000 miles so far.

Here.. i had to modify the spacers came with. The 7/8’s were too small and i dont like how they wiggled or moving even they are fully tighten. So what i did is dremel the 1” spacer and removing few mm just to fit inside the handlebar then tighten them. Rocksolid and these mirror holds man.. im satisfied.

OK. I ordered this. It should be fine. Now I just need to learn how to use it.

I have a buddy who is a machinist, so I had home just machine my bar ends. I thought the stock mirrors were fine till I had these. You can see so much more even though they are smaller.

I purchased these on Amazon to fill those holes.

I have the generic round bar-end on my bike. The ones you can get on Amazon for like 15$: https://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Handle-Rearview-Mirrors-Harley/dp/B01N6GB7DZ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1486662753&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=bar+end+mirrors&psc=1

Rode 1 year. No complaints so far. You have to set them up then tighten them to get them to stay more or less. Vision is good (convex so you see more, might take time to get used to it). Might not be best but cheap and they work.

I also tried these: https://www.amazon.com/Astra-Depot-Adjustable-Motorcycle-Kawasaki/dp/B0083SL82A/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1486662753&sr=8-5&keywords=bar+end+mirrors

Those I would not recommend. You can't see anything with them.

For blinkers I do not know. I know the cheapo ebay or amazon blinkers are very dim. I got some fake rizoma blinkers from aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Motorcycle-Aluminum-LED-Turn-Signal-Light-Indicator-Blinker-Light-Universal-for-rizoma/32772637080.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.11.nzBa4V&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_3_10065_10068_10000074_10000032_119_10000025_10000029_430_10000028_10060_10000067_10062_10056_10055_10000062_10054_10059_10099_10000022_10000013_10103_10102_10000016_10096_10000018_10000019_10000056_10000059_10052_10053_10107_10050_10106_10051_10000053_10000007_10000050_10084_10083_10000047_10080_10082_10081_10110_10111_10112_10113_10114_10115_10000041_10000044_10078_10079_10000038_10073_10000035_10121,searchweb201603_1,afswitch_1,single_sort_3_price_asc&btsid=eb75928c-20ac-4098-8ab1-d7ec76a16e46

Brightness is ok... But they are on the small side. Would get something with the same power LEDs but just more of em. Also the black started fading after a year.

I bought This and kind of feel like a pud for spending $7

However, they are quite inexpensive

I found this:

Or one of these. Just throw it in the trunk.

Kind of expensive though, sold as a single unit

Revzilla

Amazon

Prices are about the same on ebay as well but any "bar clamp" mirror should do the trick. I have kind of the same problem on the busa, solid bars so the standard bar end mirrors won't work but these do.

If you're iffy about the price, a lot of guys in my group ride with just one on whichever side they prefer.

Love them! Lost one in a wreck but they’re very handy and solve the shoulder blind spot issue.

I've only done a few things but really my favorite so far is new mirrors, I think the round mirrors ruin the atheistic on a bike which is mostly hard angles, plus I can't see behind me with the stock mirrors.


I use these now

So I bough some cheap $30 mirrors for my Buell. They kind of look cheap from close up. But I can't live without them now...

This time around I bough the Arrow mirrors... They haven't arrived yet.

With all the things I still want to buy, I made this to illustrate my new problem.

It is a problem if it's soft soil. I take this kickstand pad with me whenever I'm on a longer ride.

Fuck yeah it is! Here you go mang!
